I'm sure you've seen them popping up everywhere from fashion editorials to fashion blogs to fashionable street corners, & lately they've been popping into my head. & not surprisingly, as we sometimes seem to share the same thoughts, in stevie's mind too. & as much as i ooh & ahh over the inspiring filles that wear them; i have a hard time thinking of wearing them myself.

what am i talking about? well, doc martens of course.

perhaps its because i can't get the image out of my head of those grunge rockers of the 90s (& not the cool ones might i add) or maybe its the fear of all the odd looks i'll get with thoughts of "i havent seen those out in yeaarss!" or maybe it's as though i don't think i could quite feel like myself in them, but whatever the reason, i'm almost forcing myself to buy a pair & love myself in them (!)

so, for an extra push - i thought up a few little scenarios; each taken into account a favourite fashionable city of mine & inspiration from filles who are lucky enough to own an apt in that zip code what i think they might wear with them.

thank you to one of my best mates, the lovely a. from 10.17 for putting together this lovely little post. sometimes i wonder if we were twins separated ala the parent trap. but cooler. preferably with chloe as our older sister. be sure to check out her blog, as it's a feast to the eyes and ears.

i dunno. i fear them because they make my legs look bad. though i used to own 6 pairs or something. lo, high, lo steel toe, they even made loafers, and a puma type sneaker at one point. and another i can't remember.

I've actually been having the same thoughts struttering in my head!! I really love the patent pink ones, but the one I love most are the flowery print that Alix from the cherry blossom girl just bought...those are pretty amazing!! http://www.thecherryblossomgirl.com/whats-up-doc/3095/

If I can see her, the prettiest daintiest girl ever look girly in those, then I'm definitely buying them.

And, oh, great post !! As if I even needed to clear that out... duhhh :)

oh the doc martens dilemna...i have had exactly the same feelings. should i? shouldn't i? i think they're a little over done now though...there are plenty different styles out there other than the DM brand so i think it would be better to go for something other than the obvious because the big black boots look is actually a pretty good one...practical and comfy if your living in rubbish weather england too!

Ever read something on this blog that touched you, made you guffaw, or that you passed onto a friend because you thought they might like it? If so, would you like to buy me a coffee to enjoy whilst I write?
